It's exactly what I wanted

I didn't want one of those expensive phones that everyone's been trying to talk me into. All I wanted was a simple flip phone like I have had for the past 10-15 years. Now that I'm older, I figured that the emergency services offered with a Jitterbug would be a good idea.

Once the phone arrived, I took it to the Verizon store and got it on my existing plan. The phone works great, the service is wonderful and I'm using it daily without any problems.

Bought it for Grandpa

Bought this for my Grandpa for his birthday. I though it would be a great gift, as he was talking about getting a phone for emergencies. I was kind of confused about the service and I guess should've researched it a little more prior to purchasing the phone online. We're paying $49 per month for something that's rarely used and I don't know that we'll keep it. I thought this was more of a "pay as you go" type phone where we could just add money to it when necessary. I didn't know it was a no-contract, but pay monthly plan.
